Well, they’ve been engaged for quite a while now, but their Rapid City wedding is coming up fast and we were finally in the same town at the same time to take some photos!! I simply adore the way Pat hugs Mackenzie – like he’s never EVER going to let go. And the way she smiles when he kisses her? Cutest. Thing. Ever. I am so excited for these two to get married!!

Seriously. There has GOT to be something in the water in Rosholt!! I just can’t get over how GORGEOUS all these girls I’ve photographed are!! Kelsey and I had to get real creative with hiding from the RIDICULOUS wind yesterday. I won’t be back to Rosholt until September, so we had no other choice but to embrace the windblown look! :-)

Kelsey also re-kindled my affection for pop-tarts. I haven’t had any in a couple years, and she introduced me to the blueberry muffin kind. I’m hooked. Did someone say perfect mid-session snack?? :-)

Oh, and p.s., Kelsey ROCKED the serious look!!!! I’m so proud of her. :-)

Dear Kelsey, I love you for laying down in your dress. On the beach. You rock. Love, Laura.
